SEASON 41 PROFILE
Holy BladeDagger Specialist empowers Gusion's basic attack and heals after skills, Shadowblade Slaughter fills an area with daggers, and Incandescence resets his two main abilities. Accuracy matters more than speed; missing Sword Spike breaks most of the sequence.

HOW TO PLAY
Finish the route and cast Sword Spike on targets without blocking units. A landed mark offers an entry; a miss should cancel the play.
Throw Shadowblade Slaughter from a distance where several daggers connect, and use Incandescence to change angle rather than merely repeat buttons.
In late fights, wait for an isolated target and preserve an exit. Gusion kills quickly, but also dies quickly when the sequence ends among several opponents.

QUICK ANSWERS
Gusion is currently played mainly in Jungle and Mid Lane. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.
Start with «Jungle Burst Default». The other options, «Mid Execute Burst» and «Jungle Snowball Execute», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.
Saber, Khufra and Brody are the first counters to consider. Lolita blocks the daggers, while Khufra punishes the dashes Gusion needs to complete and leave the sequence.
6 skins are marked as obtainable right now. 5 more are kept in the vault with the event or shop where each one originally appeared.
